They form the foundation of Pangolin's distributed architecture, providing high availability and optimal performance. - -## How Nodes Work - - - - Request is routed to the closest available node. If one goes down, there is always another node available. - - - - User identity is verified at the node before getting routed to your backend. - - - - Pangolin selects the optimal tunnel route to your backend service. Site tunnel clients (Newt) connect to the optimal node. - - - - If the primary tunnel fails, traffic automatically switches to an alternative route. - - - -## Advantages of Nodes - - - - Users connect to the geographically closest node. - - - - Automatic selection of the best available tunnel to route to your backend services. - - - - Provide ingress to thin-clients on private networks via tunnels. - - - - Each node continuously monitors its health and connectivity to your backend. - - - - - - Multiple nodes ensure your applications remain accessible during regional outages. - - - - No single point of failure - if one location goes down, there is always a way back to your application. - -
